Overview
Working with lung transplant patients as part of the Duke Lung Transplant Program is an incredible privilege. In the lung transplant clinic, we work as part of a multi-disciplinary care team to help patients with end-stage lung disease to discuss lung transplantation. It is incredibly rewarding to see patients prior to lung transplantation on oxygen, in the immediate post-transplant period, and then during follow-up visits to see how their lives have changed. I enjoy the mix of work in the clinic, the general medical ward, the intensive care unit, and the procedure suite. Outside of the hospital, I enjoy exercising, hiking, music of all kinds, and spending time with friends and family.

Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
Duke Pulmonary Clinic - Clinic 2F/2G
It has been my privilege to care for lung transplant patients for over 20 years. I have found that helping patients and their loved ones along their transplant journey to be very rewarding. My job as the Medical Director of the Duke Lung Transplant Program is to help equip our team to work collectively to achieve the best outcome for our patients. Our mission is to serve patients and the transplant community with a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary team approach to create a pathway to transplant, particularly for those facing barriers from medical co-morbidities. This requires a commitment to communicate and collaborate across all disciplines in both the outpatient and inpatient settings. We want to make the patient experience the best it can possibly be. We also recognize that in order to improve outcomes in lung transplants, there must be significant advances in the prevention and treatment of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). Therefore, we support clinical research efforts to this end, participate in the most promising trials, and provide our patients the opportunity to enroll in them. Dr. Reynolds is highly rated in 9 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis, Pneumonia, Pulmonary Fibrosis, Acute Interstitial Pneumonia, and Lung Transplant. Dr. Reynolds is board certified in American Board Of Internal Med, Critical Care Medicine and American Board Of Internal Med, Pulmonary Disease.
Duke Gastroenterology Clinic - Clinic 2J
I am proud to serve as the Chief of the Duke Division of Gastroenterology. In addition to my administrative duties, I enjoy my clinical practice focused on the care of patients with liver diseases. I also continue to participate in clinical research and hope that these studies offer our patients the latest advances and treatment options. Dr. Muir is highly rated in 23 conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Hepatitis C, Hepatitis, Sclerosing Cholangitis, Liver Transplant, and Kidney Transplant. Dr. Muir is board certified in American Board Of Internal Med, Gastroenterology and American Board Of Internal Med, Transplant Hepatology.
Duke Kidney/Pancreas Transplant Clinic - Clinic 2B/2C
I believe that an informed patient makes the best health care decisions with physician guidance. Kidney transplantation, while life-saving, can be an overwhelming event for our kidney transplant recipients, and for their care-takers after transplantation. Therefore, I think it is critical that we transplant physicians make it a priority to thoroughly and clearly communicate with our patients about all aspects of transplantation and to do our best to explain the complex medical considerations frequently underlying our decisions on what to do for our transplant recipients. I chose to pursue transplant medicine as a career because I see how receiving an organ transplantation can be such a life-changing event for our patients, and at the same time how much more can still be done to make this therapy more streamlined and less complicated for our patients in need. Dr. Luo is highly rated in 3 conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Cytomegalovirus Infection, Chronic Kidney Disease, End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), Islet Cell Transplantation, and Kidney Transplant. Dr. Luo is board certified in American Board Of Internal Med, Nephrology.
